New Boat Order

[charron]

300hp, premium sound, arch w/bimini, flag, fender clips, and maybe transom trim switch. I really like the shale grey, just trying to decide boot strip or hull side.

.
Exciting F2F!

If it were I, a dual battery switch would be added to my option list as well.
I'm very partial to hull side. Would your Shale gray selection would look something like this?

These would be other color schemes we would fancy:

OR

Whatever you choose, you can't go wrong, F2F. She's your baby. ....and the birth of your new Cobalt baby cannot come soon enough.

The second picture is about like what I'm leaning toward. Oh shoot, knew I was forgetting and option. Definitely getting the dual battery switch option.

I tried to call and finalize today but the dealer left for a Cobalt dealers shindig.

These were the 2 colors we narrowed our choice down to. Sounds like we have similar taste in colors. We ended up going with the Navy with shale stripe but you can’t go wrong with any choice.

Don't forget lime green! B.B.D. literally laughed at that one, wife looked over and asked what was so funny.

Hey.. Lime green may well be the next color introduction!
I could also see my favorite Bright color..Watermelon.!
I’m thrilled to see Cobalt thinking outside of the safe zone...

Hey B.B.,
My favorite Jeep color was Rock Lobster!

That's going to be pretty charron! Im looking forward to seeing it in your driveway.

Okay, my turn signal is on...

Lobster made me think of it. My wife LOVEs crab. I took her to an "all you can eat" crab buffet Friday night. I just don't get it. I worked my tail off to get a little sliver of meat the size of my pinky. I kept working at it and finally gave up before I starved, then went and got a plate of ribs. Mmm.

She just laughed at my frustration. Y'all can have 'em.

Oh man.. crab legs are work, but dear God, nothing is better than a load of snow crab legs.
The buffets usually buy, well, buffet type..cheap, low price legs. The kind people stuff in their purses. There are better grades out there with thick meat in them!

If you are going to own a water sports boat, it should be flamboyant as all hell IMO!
Bright reds, yellows, and of course, orange!

.
We differ from ya there, T.
Those “in your face flamboyant” boat colors are for those who want to compensate for other areas.

More importantly, the classic Boat colors never go out of style—especially for resale. Start getting too flamboyant and she gets dated fairly quickly. Remember the pinks and blues of the Miami Vice era? Formula was famous for it.
As long as the buyer understands the risk, full speed ahead! Fuschia anyone?

I get it. There is flamboyant, and then there was Baja..
Bro, you see what I ordered. Cobalt Blue on a Cobalt is what I was feeling right off the bat.
I’m all about classic colors, especially boring earth tones for my vehicles..
IMO, surf or watersport boats will be more sellable because of flamboyant color, which usually attracts and sells to rich kids anyway...
I think it’s all the crazy stripes and blended colors that will date. A solid Cobalt styled orange or yellow should always retain their sex appeal.

We’re ALL suffering from a mid life crisis!
Comes as natural as graying hair!

Ever see a young guy drive a Corvette? It’s becoming an embarrassing old mans car..

Time for a matching Fuschia tow rig and Boat !

It will certainly sell in October

[Big Block Power]

I hate to say it but the multi colored baja with a bb still sells awful fast in these neck of the woods.

[Ytmsn]

I'd own and drive an orange boat. Just sayin.

Hey, for the right price I’ll even take one.

Some said pink?!? You got my attention!

I'm the girl that likes color and the louder the better but it has its place. My snow skis I want to be flashy and wear all the bright colors... My boat I want a classic look. I think that's why I've always loved cobalts, they are timeless in design and color. Red, navy, Grey, those colors will always be in style... Your 20 year old boat wont be dated and out of style because it was never not in style. I don't want Cobalt to get to into the Malibu designs...that's not what makes a Cobalt a Cobalt IMO!

Funny. I thought that was a joke. It certainly is unique

I'm different in many ways and unique

We all have our quirks.

Some more than others.

With all our helpful advice, BFun, I wouldn’t blame you for bailing and getting a plane or a sports car instead
